I’m proud to stand in solidarity with @nationalnurses.bsky.social at University Medical Center New Orleans on strike for a fair first contract.
These nurses are facing a staffing crisis because of UMCNO's refusal to provide fair wages, benefits & working conditions. Enough is enough.

New Orleans nurses are on the strike line this week because fewer and fewer staff are staying long-term at UMC. Meanwhile, LCMC executives are making obscene amounts of money.
How about investing those profits into nurse retention instead of executive pay?

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage.
The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn.
No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

Ask yourself this: How would the New York Times have covered the protests if it had been seven million MAGA supporters flooding the streets? We don’t even have to guess: We know how they and other mainstream outlets covered the Tea Party protests during Obama’s first term.

The Trump administration has taken actions that would eliminate existing protections from about 88 million acres of public lands. Including the removal of wildlife habitat protections, the total impact of the rollbacks stretches across more than 175 million acres of U.S. land.

I’ve seen so many people spreading the misinformation that PBS is shut down or is shutting down.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been shut down and PBS has been defunded.
HOWEVER!!! PBS still exists. It is more important now than ever that you donate to PBS if you can.

Remember, Trump illegally ordered this impoundment of funds, but the GOP approved it after the fact in its rescission package. This is on them, too.

I am baffled by the Washington Post's sanitized framing of this story. The Supreme Court is clearly going to "rule on the law" -- that is what courts do! The news is that SCOTUS signaled that it might gut the VRA entirely.
